Justice League – New 52 | Comics

It took an invasion of the extraterrestrial Parademons from the planet Apokolips on Earth on behalf of their master Darkseid to unite the World's greatest super-heroes to come together and form an uneasy alliance to defend Earth, which they successfully did in the end and effectively put a stop to the invasion. As the battle was a success, they banded together to work as a team to protect mankind and serve justice, thus forming the Justice League.

The initial roster of the team consists of Aquaman, Batman, Victor Stone as Cyborg, Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, Superman, Barry Allen as The Flash and Wonder Woman. Other members like Aquaman's wife Queen Mera, Atom, Deadman, Element Woman, Firestorm, Green Arrow, Hawkman and Lady Luck also joined occasionally as additional members in the League. The Justice League exists alongside two other superhero teams, Justice League Dark and Justice League International, both of whom operate separately with their own mission.

When there is a world-ending crisis, the League is there to respond to it immediately. The members of the League are individually operational to their own heroic duty or vigilantism in the base of their operations. Apart from taking on major super-villains like Amazo, Felix Faust or even the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3, they engage to other threats like Court of the Owls from Gotham and solo villains of the fellow team members when needed.
